Hello! I’m Manuel Cortéz, a full-stack developer specializing in enterprise automation, mobile development, and web applications.
Since 2016 I founded and operate MCVHost, a radio streaming SaaS platform serving international clients. The system fully automates streaming server provisioning, from initial setup to live broadcasting. I also develop mobile applications with Flutter and automation systems for businesses.
Beyond development work, I’m a professional assistive technology instructor at Destellos de Luz since 2014, where I teach about accessibility and inclusive technology. I maintain TWBlue, an accessible social media client that I adapted in 2023 to support Mastodon and other alternative platforms.
On this site you’ll find my personal blog, information about my projects, and ways to contact me. You can follow me on social media using the links in the main menu.
